"lee donghyuck!"
the said male looked back and when he saw who was approaching him, he sighed and run to the guy, "renjun.." he whispered as he jumped to the guy and hugged him.
"hyuck... where did you run to? and what happened? why are you.. frowning?" renjun asked the younger male while the said male just buried his face to the crook of renjun's neck.
when donghyuck didn't answered him, renjun just sighed and tried to take the note pad the younger was gripping onto. but strangely, donghyuck doesn't want to show it. it made renjun more curious.
"donghyuck, if you won't answer me, let me see the notepad at least." renjun stated as he once again tried to take the notepad but stopped when he heard a whisper against his ear,
"it's stupid."
okay, wait. donghyuck's for real, speaking to him, fuck. renjun's cheeks turned a light shade of red. but now is not the right time to blush, what the hell huang.
"lee donghyuck!"
both renjun's and the said male's head turned to look at the direction where the voice came from. noticing how donghyuck tensed, renjun hugged the younger before hiding him behind, "so it was you.."
"look renjun, i need to talk to him."
renjun's brows raised as he looked back but donghyuck just shook his head. a little taken aback, renjun fully faced the younger, "hyuck, i know i shouldn't be meddling with you two but, i think you two need to talk."
renjun's forehead creased when he heard hyuck scoff. renjun then watched as donghyuck started typing something on his phone. after a few seconds, he showed it to renjun,
' funny, the first day of this semester he sang khalid's 'talk' to me and then told himself he forgot i can't talk.'
renjun's eyes widened. he then turned to look at mark and furrowed his brows at the guy, while still having a protective hand around donghyuck, "what the hell mark? you did that?"
"pft. yeah, but that isn't the issue right now." mark sternly said before looking at the tanned male that was hiding behind the smaller chinese male. "i need to clear things out with donghyuck."
renjun then glanced at behind his shoulder to look at the younger's reaction but more footsteps rushing towards them caught his attention making him look up.
"sort things up with yourself first, fucker." jaemin, who just came and shouted these words, threw donghyuck's back pack, which he was holding, to xiaojun who is confused and is next to him.
mark glared at the light-gray haired male who's also glaring back at him. "jaemin, stay out of this."
"no mark, you have a test to take up tomorrow. shouldn't you be reviewing right now or something, instead of bothering donghyuck?" jaemin asked, his brows furrowed as he hid both renjun and hyuck behind his back.
"i know but donghyu—"
"don't be stubborn mark lee. focus on your first priority in this school. and i'm saying this as the boyfriend of your best friend." jaemin placed both of his hands on his waist, making him look like a mom nagging her child.
mark rolled his eyes and swung his back pack to his left shoulder. taking one last look to donghyuck who seem to have made up his mind of not listening to mark, once again, mark clicked his tongue before turning his back and walking away from them, not really sure on where he'd head now. court, library, or house... idk.
but mark ain't giving up that easily.
he's sure jaemin and donghyuck's other friends part their ways at the parking lot which means they're away from donghyuck. maybe mark could take it from there.
he then ran to the parking lot and when he spotted the group, he hid behind one of the cars parked in there to not get caught by jaemin and get nagged.
when he saw them waving their goodbyes to donghyuck, he waited for a minute for them to get far before standing up from his hiding spot but froze from his place when a familiar car stopped in front of donghyuck. oh.. it's the same car from that day.
mark clenched his jaw as his fist balled while watching the exact same scene like the last time. donghyuck rushed to guy with a long blonde hair. they hugged each other tightly as if it has been years since they last saw each other. they both kissed each other's cheeks before going inside that damn car. yeah, same exact event. the only thing that changed is the guy's hair color which was pink before but mark can still remember that same doe eyes.
mark then just clicked his tongue, emotions draining out of his facial features. he turned his back and walked back to the court, "i'll just do some rounds to relieve this damned feeling. tch."
↳🏀🎶↰
mark dribbled the ball once again.
it may feel normal for him but the ball was being dribbled with force. it was making this loud sound as it hits the floor and mark's hand, repeatedly.
his friends eyed him while worry filled their eyes. their afraid something will happen if mark keeps this energy. "hyung! calm down please!" chenle reminded, his voice filled with worries.
"yeah.. sure!" mark screamed before jumping and shooting the ball which for nth time, didn't got in as it just bounced back as soon as it hits the board, "goddamn it!" he then ruffled his hair before getting another ball.
"hyung, you can vent it out on us!" jeno also reminded as his eyes followed wherever mark runs.
mark paused for a second to think of it but sooner shook his head before jumping again, "i'd rather let the ball receive all this energies than.... you guys!" mark exhaled as he shots the ball from the rebound place but it just hits the metal part of the ring before bouncing back.
chenle, jeno and yangyang winced at the sound the ball and the metal created. it sure is loud.
"hyung.. just calm down please. let's take a breather right now before group study date." yangyang suggested as he raised a water bottle and a towel.
hearing that, mark groaned and ruffled his hair once again before fetching a new ball, damn, i forgot i still have to study shits. i'm so focused on donghyuck that i forgot.. "ugh! fucking hell!"
mark is mad. to himself particularly. how dare he forget that he still has to study to keep his captain position? he then ran while dribbling the ball and when he got to the free-throw lane, he jumped, not really realizing he exerted too much force...
but it was as if someone just held onto his ankle making it's muscles go numb.
it was when he realized, he jumped wrong.
and much more worse? he landed wrong.
"argh! fuck!"
it's when he landed awkwardly on both feet, he immediately dropped to the ground and clutched on his feet.
"hyung!"
"f-fuc— shit! it fucking hurts!"
"hyung oh my gosh!" his friends came to give him a first aid while one called for the nurse.
they tried their best to remain calm but it's no use, panic is still evident in their movements while he cried out of pain. "shit my ankle! it's my fucking ankle!"
"h-hyung c-calm down a-and let your l-leg rest.." even chenle who knew the first aid for things like this, starts to panic as he helped his hyung who is screaming because of pain. chenle hesitantly reached to the almost purple ankle of his hyung but even at the slightest touch of his finger, his hyung screamed in pain. "g-ge, y-yangyang ge, g-get some i-ice pack near t-the lockers of the p-players."
yangyang immediately stood up and ran to the locker room while chenle tried to calm his hyung down as he ran fingers to the older's hair.
the only time chenle felt relieved is when the school nurse, medics and a doctor entered the court, rushing to mark.
"chenle, what happened?" the school nurse asked the young chinese male while the doctors assisted the medics on what they should do.
"i-i think h-hyung fractured h-his ankle..."
